How long does it take you to cut?

I've been cutting for 9 weeks now and I'm only down 10-13lbs, my goal is to lose a total of 25 and by the looks of it it will be nearly 5 months by the time that is all gone spent cutting. Is it this slow for everyone els?

I've been cutting since July. It's been the slowest cut ever because I've allowed myself to not give a single fuk for birthdays, vacations, and family get togethers. Still, down 20lbs in 4 months isn't too bad. I'm in full steam ahead mode till Thanksgiving right now and trying to drop 2lbs per week.

I'm interested in this too, actually. I've been cutting for 6 weeks so far and I think realistically I'm looking at at least 12+ weeks to go, I THINK I'm at about 13% right now, don't really know for sure though. pics are in NFTT thread if anyone wants to give an estimate

This is me now. I always used to try to cut at a normal-fast pace, but I realized I shouldn't have to restrict myself during big social events. Been cutting since Aug 31, and only plan to for about another 3 weeks (I'll still probably be the same bf ). I have dropped from 20% to 13% and have dropped 20 lbs, so I'm content. To be honest, the reason I want to stop my cut is because 1. I am realizing my lack of muscle mass and 2. I miss eating 2800+ cals a day

one of the absolute best things I think is to increase activity. I used to not do much and losing sucked d!ck, my activity has now substantially increased - and in turn so has calories and it honestly doesn't feel like I'm cutting, in fact I feel pretty much as good as I did while bulking!

I do 60+ mins of LISS cardio (usually just high incline walking on the tready) and use the time to catch up on uni readings, it's awesomely efficient

You're right... that WOULD actually be the best thing for me... it would make me stop being so damn lazy . Maybe next semester when I'm not stacking 2 extremely difficult science classes. I'm sure I'll make up another damn excuse though.

I was on that boat for awhile, riding my bike 60 miniutes a day just so i could eat an extra 400 calories... Now I just PSMF on my off days so 2x a week at <1400 cal, and I can eat just maint on workout days.

Fukin this exactly. I like that I can let loose and still lose weight, but I am tired of the slow progress. It's dat dere EC time for me until Thanksgiving.

this question is pretty broad. It all depends on how much you're trying to lose. When I bulk I never try to exceed 14% bodyfat and it takes me about 4 months to cut that fat. .8-1 pound per week, ~15 pounds.

Depends....if I'm just trying to tighten up, it takes a couple months and I drop maybe 5-7lbs, if it's a cut then 1lb per week, maybe more at the very beginning....I just started a cut till Christmas time and for holiday times I'm just going to go with maintenance or high/low days to accommodate all the parties and family time.

First cut was 32lbs in 6 months and my current cut (I'm in my 6th week) I've lost 10lbs. Feel like this is never going to end but I'm planning on it all being over in May. I hope.
